Big Cheese

Int he new art Iori is dressed for school, Daisuke's outfit at first glance appears to be a take on a Japanese chef's jacket (with new goggles, or glasses... will likely be easier to tell when we get them higher resolution), while both Ken and Miyako are dressed in more casual outfits. At first Miyako appears to have an entirely new style, but the more I like at it doesn't feel 'super' different for her.

On top of confirmation of their appearance, and a look at their new designs, we also get a few other things...

First, we get a look at the new designs for their Digimon partners. All look much how you'd expect, but a bit more streamlined (the biggest change to my eyes feels like Hawkmon.)

Daisuke will be played by Fukujuro Katayama, who was the lead in Ping Pong and has played Bluestreak in a few shorter bits of Transformers.

Ken will be played by Arthur Lounsbery (I believe this makes him the second American to play a lead in Digimon in Japan?), he's likely best known as Kaito Tsukigami in Starmyu.

Miyako will be played by Ayaka Asai, who has been in Laura in Aikatsu Stars, Jeanne in High School DxD, Hazuki Kato in Sound! Euphonium and Liz and the Blue Bird, and Mio in Testament of Sister New Devil.

Iori will be played by Yoshitaka Yamaya, he's likely best known as Tomohito from Assassination Classroom, Marx from Black Clover, Itsuki from Rising of the Shield Hero, and many other roles.

The cast for the 4 Digimon isn't confirmed yet, but based on the 8 Adventure Digimon, and that V-mon and Wormmon's actors are guests at DigiFes tomorrow, the old cast returning for all 4 wouldn't be a surprise, but hopefully we can get that confirmed one way or the other shortly.

The last piece of art appears to just be a comparison between their old and new designs.

Update- Changed the character layout and cast image to a better version.

The designs of the Adventure kids and their Digimon in Kizuna can be found here.

I knew the orginal maker of the Adventure would not let us down she is going to show how u really make a Digimon movie.

Though now I'm really wondering who is the the main villain it must be extremely powerful since we got to see a small look of Omegamon's digivolution sequence used in Tri.
I really hope it's Demon because it would make sense since he did say he would return and Dark Genai even mentioned him and Diablomon would be insane if it was both

I'd rather roll

With many characters, it could be quite the cluster fuck. May as well throw in Meiko too lol

Now for everyone to wonder what they do for megas. Will Toei stick to Imperialdramon, GranKuwagamon, and Valkrimon? will they go new? will they jogress, since TK and Kari don't really need to? now for the fandom wars to begin again!

Only for Alphamon to kidnap them in the first ten mins again.

but I think the best way would be for 01 to fight Diaboromon, 02 Daemon, and then I guess they combine together to defeat both after they fuse into evilsatanmon

In terms of design, I think Davis looks too much like Mikey... and Ken honestly doesn't really look like himself to me.

Ain't got no mojo...

This gets my hopes up!
I hope all of them getting their own, unique ultimate and mega. ALSO Iori and Miyako still doing jogress with Takeru and Hikari, and we get Silphymon and Shakkoumon evolution too. It's the only chance we can get

Since expecting new evolutions/stage is probably asking too much for a film entry time/length-wise, I just want a decent battle showcase of the 6 Ultimates debuted in Tri.
It is a bit of a cheat and a half experience, but I would not mind the 02 four already reaching new evolutions during the time-skip or something, so they can already evolve to Perfect/Ultimate or something. Otherwise, I'm not sure how they will be able to handle the 6 Ultimates + 2 new Ultimates that depends on Jogress at the same time.

I'm going digital

DinoBeemon>GranKuwagamon is Wormmon's parallel with V-mon's Paildramon>Imperialdramon DM. Though there's really no reason to use GranKuwagamon at all in the film because Imperialdramon already serves the same purpose.

Didn't check to see if I spelled these correctly, apologies in advance!

Why the jogressed forms? Because they are forms they had already been in before. Also because IF these kids get to be part of any actual action, I hope they won't just stay at Adult/Champion level and I doubt they'd create entirely new evolution lines for them either.
Alternately, they could just be seen going straight to Mega, of course!

*: Like I said in another thread, they can always use this as Armadillomon's Ultimate if they realize what a mistake Shakkoumon was as an Ankylomon+Angemon jogress are feeling... creative!

But back to the main topic, I am sitting here laughing by myself with the fact that we actually see them this time around. I can't believe it!
Last time it was like they had swept an elephant under the rug and pretended no one noticed, so I'm kind of in a shock after this update!

Since this is an anime film, I'm not falling for "FEATURING THIS PERSON!" to then have them speak a single line and appear in merely one shot.
I actually expect this to be the case for even the original 01 cast, beyond Matt and Izzy. The fact Joe is in medical clothes implies he may just be seeing everything happening on TV throughout the film, not unlike how the kids were caught up in life during Our War Game.

Aside: Wonder if it's just going to do its own thing and pretend Tri never happened, either. It was announced not long after (or even before?) Tri wrapped up, and Mei's still absent. The same one who was built up as part of the gang and even Tai's love interest.
The entire existence of Kizuna is just weird in general. Something had to of been going wrong with Tri, behind the scenes, on several fronts.
